Installation of cable at gates
Gates, including sally ports, require protection comparable to that provided on
the fence. Since gates are usually constructed of the same material as the fence,
the Intelli-FLEX II can be used to protect them. There are generally two types of
gates, swinging and sliding. This section provides the installation details for
various gate configurations.
Pointers
•
Install the sensor cable on the side of the fence into which the gate panel
opens.
•
If the gate panel opens in the opposite direction be sure to leave enough
slack in the sensor cable so that the gate can be opened in either direction
without damaging the cable.
•
Make sure that there is no loose sensor cable when the gate is closed.
Swinging gate bypass cable
If a swinging gate is to be part of an Intelli-FLEX II zone, a non-sensitive, bypass
cable must be run from one side of the gate to the other in order for the sensor
cable to be usable on both sides of the gate. The bypass cable is a piece of non-
sensitive feed cable that runs underground for the width of the gate. The bypass
